Queensland Tourism Talks
Welcoming visitors with a service animal
The Igniting Accessible Experiences podcast series, produced in partnership with Get Skilled Access, helps Queensland tourism operators make their services more accessible and inclusive.
“Talk to me like you would anyone else.”
In this episode, co-hosts Ben Pettingill and Bridie McKim are joined by Rory Douglas, a blind guide dog user, to discuss visitors with guide, hearing, and assistance animals.
The team explores the role of assistance animals, the importance of their access, businesses' legal responsibilities, comfortable conversations, and examples of successful inclusion.
Tune in to more episodes as Ben and Bridie chat with people with disability and tourism operators to uncover learnings from both perspectives on experiencing and providing accessible tourism.
